The speaker connects with a very small ribbon...no soldering there..ive yet to find anyone who knows any reason why the speaker goes out.ive even swapped the speaker with a known good one....and same thing...you learn to live with it lol
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Oddly enough mines working fine again after 2 months of this happening every 10-15 minutes and I use it constantly for music at work. Only thing I ever really did was smack it to get it to come back on....repeatedly, lol.

Hopefully it'll stay working I've used it this past few days for about 5hrs at a time with no problems.

Sent from my i897 w/Andromeda 3, Suckerpunch kernel, & 1.3Ghz OC using Tegrak.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
When I repair them I clean the lever joint very good. Typically it's the internal of the speaker that fails and causes the short. The connection is always well secured from the manufacturer. In my experience I've had nothing but success with the replacement OEM part.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I never listen to speaker. I use Blue Tooth. But I constantly have pauses, or skips, when playing music. Quite frustrating. Thinking the Blue Tooth is flaky. It happens more when playing Pandora (ie over network); but it also happens, less frequently, when playing music from memory.

Compiling Ursa Minor

Having an issue compiling Ursa Minor. It built pretty easily, but when I flash it to my phone, I just get a boot loop. I can't get to recovery and even low-power mode boot loops. Unfortunately, my USB connectors haven't arrived yet I need for accessing the serial console. I've tried using both Heimdall 1.3.0 + recent patch and using the generated ursaminorflash.zip. I tried building both the latest git source and commit a1a53d54 which is dated March 23rd and the last commit before March 29th. After it starts boot looping I have to use Heimdall to flash the zImage from Andromeda3.zip and then my phone can boot normally again. Here's the build procedure I used.

git clone https://github.com/TeamKomin/Ursa-Minor.git
cd Ursa-Minor/Kernel
CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-eabi- ./build.sh captivate
adb push ../ursaminorflash.zip /mnt/sdcard/
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Mine started doing this about 2 months ago, but only when playing Angry Birds. I had been on A3 for over 3 months by then. About 3 weeks ago it started doing it randomly. I noticed I was missing calls that I never heard ring. Now, I have to make sure the speaker is working before putting the phone down to charge or in my case. Vibration alone is not enough to alert me and even if I do feel it I can't hear anything until I tap the phone. I'm so frustrated because other than this my phone works perfectly and I'm more than a year from an upgrade.:mad:

Data drops?

Is it just me or do others have problems with what I call data drops - where it shows a good signal strength but data isn't connected (i.e. no browsing, Facebook app doesn't work, Twitter won't load tweets, email won't sync) and then it will suddenly switch from H to 3G and immediately back to H again and all works fine??

Is this ROM specific? I've tried different modems and have the same issue. It's a random, occasional thing; I can't link it to any other factors. Decided to post and see if it's an issue for others, too. Please let me know yes or no.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else get strange wifi behavior? My wifi doesn't connect sometimes when I go from one wifi spot to another and sometimes it errors out when trying to connect.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Yes, same here.
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
I've been getting a wi-fi error occasionally the past few days. But I'm pretty sure it's not rom specific. I've been running Andromeda since it was first released. This only started happening recently. Before, my wi-fi has been working flawlessly.

Sometimes, if I try to turn on wi-fi with the button in the notification tray, it will say "on" but is actually in an error state, which can be seen when going to "settings | wireless and network | wi-fi settings". Ticking the wi-fi item there will clear the error and turn wi-fi on. This has only occured 5 or 6 times so far.

I was wondering what would cause this kind of behavior to surface, and if it can be corrected without re-flashing the rom. I actually only flashed once, right after Andromeda3 was first released, and I'd kinda hate to have to set everything up again.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
I experience this same wifi behavior. Using the wifi button in the notification tray or any widgets to toggle wifi on will sometime do nothing - going to settings will see it is in error state. However, I figured out it isn't a problem with the widgets or anything because going to it through settings will sometimes get the error, too.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Try wiping dalvik cache once and awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Is this in reference to the wifi issue? If so...I do. Not daily or weekly but every once in a while I do.

Would this also, in theory, help the data dropping issue I posted about a few posts ago?
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
It sure can't hurt. To be honest the only rom, froyo or GB, that hasn't given me wifi grief from time to time is cm7. Never any data drops ever. Always connects. No problems.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
CM7 is not a 2.2 ROM.

The problem is caused by the wifi getting out of sync. During normal operation it may connect and disconnect repeatedly then eventually errors out on wifi. Using the wifi button does not fully reset wifi. Using the settings option does. You can use airplane mode to reset as well.

The problem exists on all 2.2 ROMs and it exists because it is an intermittant fault which is very hard to troubleshoot.
[Captivate Android Development] penguin359:
I finally figured out the root cause to my boot looping. The git checkout of Ursa Minor is missing some critical directories in the initramfs. I've created a fix for it and posted it on Github with a Pull Request. I'm now able able to boot into Andromeda with a freshly compiled kernel. Now I'm just fixing some stability issues that I probably created for myself due to repeated flashing broken kernels and the crashes/boot loops I suffered. Hopefully I can avoid a wipe and get on to some real Kernel hacking soon.
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
I got to thinking, at the time I posted I hadn't rebooted the phone in at least a couple of weeks. So I rebooted and havn't had the wi-fi error again yet. We'll see how it goes. Maybe it was just a cumulative problem that was cleared by the reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
I'm aware cm7 is not a froyo rom. My point is every Samsung custom rom has wifi issues be it GB or froyo. Cm7 is the only rom I've used that doesn't.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
I reboot mine every couple of days at least.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Re the WIFI error...

I've had this problem, intermittently, for months and months, on several different ROMS, including this one. Has been discussed here and on many other threads.

I find it particularly is problematic when using some type of third party app to toggle WiFi on or off, such as Tasker, or any others out there.

Interestingly, it has been much better lately for me, but still a very frustrating problem.

Update zips for Andromeda SVN R78

In lieu of any official updates for Andromeda, I decided to spend a little time and assemble some zips based on the latest updates by TeamKomin in their Subversion server. The zip andromeda3-r78-full.zip includes every update made by TeamKomin with the exception of two APKs stored in /data. I didn't want to risk installing an older APK on a users device when both of them are available from the Android Market. They are the Captivate SGS Tools and Chainfire3D. These are CWM flashable no-wipe zips. I've also broken the full zip into system, kernel, and modem which can be installed individually. And because I find the lack of Voice Dialer as the biggest deficiency in this otherwise excellent ROM, I creates a zip which just adds VoiceDialer.apk to /system/app.

For the moment, I have these .zips on my own server for lack of better hosting:

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/android/files/andromeda3-r78-full.zip

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/android/files/andromeda3-r78-system.zip

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/android/files/andromeda3-r78-kernel.zip

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/android/files/andromeda3-r78-modem.zip

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/android/files/andromeda3-r78-voicedialer.zip

Also, I'm not sure what the difference between the latest zImage (which About Phone says is UrsaMinor #2) stored in subversion vs. the published UrsaMinor #2. They seem to differ somewhat.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I"m tempted to reload all, but not having followed what's going on with the various changes, not sure it is worth th effort. I have had Andromeda 3 installed now for a few months and am happy with it. My only complaint is the constant issues with WIFI per the above post, which is not an Andromeda ROM issue.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
You can get the repository version at http://files.teamkomin.com "AndromedaRepo.zip" this is CWM installable. This version is built using the folowing script:

#! /bin/sh

#This is the repository Directory, change to match your setup
Repo="/home/adam/code/TeamKomin/SVN/trunk"
Output="/home/adam/Desktop"

svn update "$Repo"
test -e "$Output/tmp/" && rm -Rf "$Output/tmp/"
mkdir "$Output/tmp/"
cp -rf "$Repo/data" "$Output/tmp/"
cp -rf "$Repo/META-INF" "$Output/tmp/"
cp -rf "$Repo/system" "$Output/tmp/"
cp -rf "$Repo/updates" "$Output/tmp/"
find "$Output/tmp/" -name ".svn" -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
cd "$Output/tmp"
test -e "$Output/AndromedaRepo.zip" && rm -f "$Output/AndromedaRepo.zip"
zip -r "$Output"/AndromedaRepo.zip ./*
rm -rf "$Output/tmp"

expect -c 'set timeout 3600' -c 'spawn sftp NOT TELLING YOU;
sleep 10;
expect "s password:"; send "NOT TELLING YOU";
expect "Connected to";
expect "sftp>"; send "cd Andromeda\n";
expect "sftp>"; send "put '"$Output"'/AndromedaRepo.zip\n";
expect "sftp>"; send "ls\n";

The above script builds the SVN Repo into a CWM flashable zip on my desktop. Change the variables at the top to build your own CWM flashable zip of the Team Komin repo.
[Captivate Android Development] penguin359:
Yes, I am aware of http://files.teamkomin.com/ and your nightly builds, but there is a huge difference between AndromedaRepo.zip which is a 169MB wipe-only ROM and the zips I posted. None of my zips do or require a wipe with the exception of the dalvik-cache which my zips automatically wipe if any APKs are added/updated. My zips can be flash as a non-invasive update to the published stable build of Andromeda3 and the biggest zip which includes all system updates as well as modem/kernel is only 14MB. I just was looking for a way to update my existing ROM without needing to do a backup and wipe and I thought others might too.

There was an issue, for example, to fix Bluetooth Voice Dialing, but the only fix has been to install the latest nightly which does a wipe so I created a zip just for that which is only 68kB and does not require a wipe or change anything else on the phone.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

The voicedialer zip adds the standard Bluetooth Voice Dialer to your phone.

The system zip adds Voice Dialer, updated Market, and removes the non-functional Video Call button from Contacts. This includes everything in the voicedialer zip. It also fixes the security exploit mentioned in the first post of the thread that was discovered after Andromeda was released. If you applied the recommended patch mentioned in that post, then you don't need to worry, otherwise install either this or the patch listed in post #1.

The kernel zip installs a newer version of the UrsaMinor kernel label UrsaMinor #2. I don't know what the differences are or how it differs from the seperate UrsaMinor.zip which is also labeled UrsaMinor #2.

The modem zip installs the Aries 850 KC1 modem which replaces the stock JK4 modem that Andromeda ships with. I don't know what the actually difference is.

The full zip is just system+kernel+modem in one zip. If you are concerned about updating the modem or kernel, then just flash system. I'm running with all updates with no issues at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
So you're saying that BT voice dialing will now work on A3 with the installation of your system.zip? And I can install this over my current A3 without any wipe or loss of current configuration? You're my new hero, Senor Penguin!:D
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Well, he adds the proper voice dialer apk. Choice dialer still won't work, I don't think, but thats okay. The google voice dialer works pretty good.
[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
Does Team Komin have any plans on making a Gingerbread ROM? Andromeda was great when I used it, but I dont think there are that many of us using FROYO Roms anymore. Komin does great work and I personally would love to see a Cappy Gingerbread Rom from you guys. Thanks guys and I hope to see something from you guys soon!!
[Captivate Android Development] docflower:
Playing with an app I messed up some certs on my phone. Could someone with Andromeda3 post their /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks file? Mine is broke and I don't really want to reflash the deal.

Thanks.

Nevermind....
[Captivate Android Development] penguin359:
Just download the Andromeda3.zip and extract that file out of it.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Unfortunately, Samsung has not released a Gingerbread version of Android for the GT-9010 Galaxy S Armani which Andromeda is based on, only Android 2.2. The closest thing you might find is a ROM based on KF1 or KH3 which are SGH-897 Captivate Gingerbread ROMs. The Captivate and Galaxy S Armani have nearly identical hardware.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Actually, since I've installed the VoiceDialer.apk, Choice Dialer pops up as one of the options, though I'm not 100% sure it's picking my voice up through the Bluetooth headset, I'll have to do more testing.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I have yet to see any features in Gingerbread that make me want it.

My specific need for voice dialing is via some type of blue tooth device, and I have found Choice Dialer to be particularly inaccurate. Doesn't even understand the word "YES". And really, none work too well via blue tooth.

I so miss the great accuracy and features of Microsoft Voice Command. It even worked great via every blue tooth device I have. Voice dialing via Android is pretty poor in comparison.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
I agree 100%. Can't believe Android can't get this simple function right when MS did years ago. And Google Voice Dialer only recognizes contacts in your Gmail account. Since I sync my Cappy with Hotmail and my Outlook contacts and calendar, this is of little use for me.:(
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Resync them all with google ?
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Not using the Google cloud.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
lol. you may have chosen the wrong OS then.....google is everything here ;)
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
May I ask why not? Privacy concerns? I just can't see why you wouldn't use it.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Because I'm still an Outlook user and Google offers almost none of the functionality of Outlook. Right now I am syncing my calendar and contacts both ways via Outlook and Hotmail. When I did it with Google it was sorely lacking.
[Captivate Android Development] soblecram:
what problems can i expect if i stay on i897 ATT GB bootloader? I loved andromeda, was the most stable and fastest by far, but really don't want to chance crapping another cappy.. i bricked one real good, and soft bricked another one just trying to go to GB loaders. don't want to have to try and go back.
[Captivate Android Development] jbabbler:
GB bootloaders should work just fine on I897/I9000 Froyo or GB roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Yep worked fine for me every time I've tried em with froyo roms.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungGun821:
Wasn't one of the features of this ROM was to block ad's in apps? Well, every time I update my apps now a days, it seems like I am getting more and more ad's now.. Is there a way to block them again?
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
The workaround for adds was modifying the host file and I'm sure since andromeda was released there are changes that need to be added to stop the adds again. If you search sound a little you may be able to find a more up to date hosts file or workaround.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Adfree for Android. In the market. Since the rom was built at the first of the year there have been many ad URLs created. The only way to keep up is with something like adfree or modify the hosts file directly.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
I read somewhere on here the adfree android app wasn't working very well anymore, do you still use it, just wondering if maybe you did you could chime in on how well it works.

I might have to give it a try anyways though and see how it goes, its a little tiring having to edit the HOSTS file so often to keep the ads at bay.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i use it on all my devices. very rarely do i get ads. when i notice them, i go and check for the updates. the only reason adfree may not be working for some people is if its not kept up to date. i have updates every few days for it, so its obviously being updated to a degree.
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Cool I'll definitely have to try it out then. Thanks for the info pirateghost.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungGun821:
I tried that adfree app. Not much luck on my end. I use an app called textplus that lets me text any number for free, I use it since Im on pay as u go. The ad's in there has gotten so bad after recent update.. so is it hard to edit the host file you guys are talking about?
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
No it's not hard to edit you just have to find the correct ad servers to add to the host file. I usually look at others host files and see what they add till I find the right match up to block as much as I can.
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
Hey,

Just had a question. My phone was sitting at the boot animation screen (screen after the Ursa Minor) for about 2 hours this morning trying to boot. It finally did after that time but it is really slow and when I swipe to unlock the phone it just goes to a blank screen. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
Just an update I rebooted my phone, and it has been in a boot loop at the animated screen for about 3 hours.

I tried to boot into download mode without success.

Ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
You have something wrong with your phone. Boot into recovery and reflash.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
I have tried to boot to recovery. Could you provide instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Volume up + down and power til you hit the att screen from power off. If that doesn't work you may need a jig to get into download mode. Could you post how you're trying to get to dl mode btw?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
if you dont know how to get into recovery or download mode, you have some reading to do.
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
Hold just the + - buttons, or power also?

Method 2:(KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power

Method 3:(KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
First one with both volume buttons plus power is recovery, second one is download mode with just volume keys and plugging in usb. I've never pulled sim card or anything to go into recovery and it's just a precautionary measure when flashing in download mode but I advise you to. If the phones already off theres no reason to pull the battery I can even slide out the sim card without taking out the battery in my captivate, don't do that with it on though, just saying it's possible.

Before you go any further I would suggest looking at the stickies in the captivate sections very thoroughly and make sure you understand everything.
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
Is there anything I should be looking for in the stickies, or just aim blindly around?

The phone won't boot to recovery. I ordered a jig for it, and I have odin to go back to stock. Is this the best course to take? Should I try unbrickable?
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Theres a sticky in captivate dev thats like a resource guide that has links to basic guides on flashing and other topics, that would be a start. Can't really comment on the unbrickable mod other than you need extremely good soldering skills and I have no idea how developed the project is at this point.

What exactly happens when you try to get to download mode? (holds both volume buttons and insert usb cable thats already plugged into pc with phone off) I ask cause theres a different screen after a bad flash thats still really download mode.

What's happening when trying to go to recovery mode? The more descriptive you are the easier it will be to help get it working as I don't have the device in front of me to see what it's doing. It really is hard to brick the phone to where you can't manually get to dl or recovery to flash something else.

Yes the odin one click packages are the easiest way to go stock.
[Captivate Android Development] MemorialFuze:
When I try to get into dl mode, nothing happens. The phone just goes to the battery charging screen.

When I try to get into recovery mode the phone holding all 3 buttons it goes to the att screen then ursa minor screen and repeats until I release.

It's all very weird my phone was working perfect last night, it turned itself off, and now it boot loops. :mad::confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Ok sounds like your holding down the buttons for recovery too long or not long enough, are you letting go about a second or two after till after the att screen pops up, some people say keep holding them till it reboots again to the att screen. Meaning keep holding them it'll act like it's shutting off then att screen shows up again instead and as soon as it does let go of all three buttons.

As far as dl mode thats strange try pulling battery leave it out, then plug in the usb connector hold volume up + down and then just barely touch the battery contacts to the contacts on the phone, it sometimes can jump start dl mode for lack of a better word. The only thing I can really think of other than that is you have a bad volume key.

If you can't get any of this to work it's probably best to wait on the jig.

Edit: I just reread that and yeah you're holding all 3 buttons too long as soon as you see att come up just about you need to let go if you see any other boot screen you held them too long, if you keep holding it thinks you're meaning to do the reboot key combo (volume up + power). Hopefully that'll get you to recovery now.
